💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

Spoiler

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

I've never had dragon fruit @itsfi it looks like a sensory dream ☺️

[CookieGirl1]

Love your pic, @itsfi .

[itsfi]

Thank you @CookieGirl1! Food and mask  pairings continue to be a thing for me with the shelter in place. 😉 

[Samtian]

@itsfi hahaha h for hurry up, that's a good one! 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, I should have paid more attention to that expiration date. But then again, if I had, it wouldn’t be a “hurry up” mask and where would the fun be?! Hahaha!

[ather]

@itsfi  This one sounds delicious! Adding to my list to try! Sounds really helpful since my poor face has been so irritated lately. Maybe I’ll have to put an order in 🙃

[itsfi]

Oh no @ather!! What’s causing your skin to be irritated? Weather? Mask wearing? Stress? Reaction to something? 

[ather]

@itsfi  All of the above lol. It just warmed up here yesterday it was actually not in the negative!! I think it was actually 0  

I noticed it quick and I’ve been doing soothing masks and wearing sleeping masks every night. It’s much better now. I used the Sephora oat one and it actually helped a ton. Very soothing. I think by tomorrow I should be back to normal! Hopefully the weather doesn’t get cold again. I get this weird “winter rash” on my hands and it looks the same but on my face. My son has bad eczema and his whole face is broken out right now too. Poor guy. 

[itsfi]

It’s good you caught it early on and acted on it quickly @ather! Oh no!! I’m so sorry; eczema is hard on the littles. My niece has it and we are constantly slathering her in Aquaphor. She has a love-hate relationship with Aquaphor. She doesn’t like it on her face but it helps. I sometimes let her apply the Aquaphor on me while I’m putting it on her so she feels like she’s not the only person who has to wear it. 😆 

[ather]

@itsfi  Aww that’s so sweet of you! We use a steroid cream on my little. I pretended to put it on his baby’s. Lol. He’s pretty good. If I forget to put his cream on he reminds me. 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Oh yum!   Now I want dragonfruit!  I think I liked this one.  I’m. Kicking myself for not taking notes of all the masks I’ve tried but I swear this one was firming . 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I would be pretty bruised if I kicked myself every time I forgot (or lost) my notes on a really good mask. 😐 There will be other masks. Papa Recipe really needs to make sampler sets of the masks in their two sheet mask lines (or in all their sheet mask lines if there are others I have not yet discovered...) 

[ather]

@itsfi  Oooo I agree with your idea about papa recipe I enjoy the masks I’ve tried from that brand as well!

[itsfi]

@ather, I feel like every brand should have a sampler set. Or better yet, a put together  your own sampler set where you can pick and choose from a select bunch of sheet masks. I feel like there would be a lot of interest in something like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

[ather]

@itsfi  I agree!! I’ve seen some sorta like that at winners and I almost always pick them up!!! More brands should do it tho!!!

[eshoe]

Mmmmm dragonfruit reminds me of Oreo cookie ice cream, @itsfi 😋 it is so pretty to look at. It would be fun to see a fruit and cream line!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, fruit and cream line? Of Oreos? Or sheet masks? Or, both? ☺️ I think Peach Slices has a fruit and ice cream line and The Creme Shop has a couple in their fusion line, with the blueberry and raspberry one, but I think they might be discontinued, or on their way out. I’d be on board with a line of fruit and cream sheet masks with a milky serum.  

[eshoe]

A fruit and cream mask line, @itsfi, but yes-I see Peach Slices already has a few! They look familiar, @Shosh85 I think may have reviewed one?

Not so sure about the Oreos, although they do have some interesting flavors! They seem to be the Kit Kat of the cookie world😉

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @itsfi  Yup, I have reviewed the Peach Slices Popsicle masks and their Ice Cream masks. They all had nice results, just didn't have the scents I was hoping for. 

[eshoe]

Good to know, @Shosh85 - I thought I remembered you saying that about their popsicle masks, too. The A’Pieu ones on the other hand 😋

[itsfi]

@eshoe, it's been many, many years since I've had an oreo; well, maybe maybe not. I'm pretty sure I had a cookies and cream milkshake a couple of years ago. Apparently, per Wikipedia, there have been over 200 different flavors of Kit Kats in Japan. Gonna tag @heartsmyface as she has tried many kit kat flavors. I've tried a few, but I think hearts has tried more. Also, Nestle will be introducing a vegan, dairy free kit kat later this year.
